 FL PAso, July 1S.-The Me1icans re- siding across the river in Paso Del Norte are a good deal stirred up over the gradual tightening of the lines against them by the United States government. Collector MaGoffin has received an i'm portant ruling from the Treasury De- partment regarding the employment of Mexicans residing in Mexico, on this slde of the river. The department has ruled that the Contract Labor Act, passed by Congress last February, pro- hibiting the employment of foreign citi- gems to work in thls country previous to their exit from their own country un- der 6 penalty of one thousand dollars for each ofense. applies to the employ meut of foreigners who live near the border, and cross the river daily to work. The ruling was made more especially in regard to Canadians, who cross the Niagara to work in New York State, but it affects the Mexican border prob- ably to an even greater extent than Can sdisns-
 Mexicans come over Co Fl Paso daily, to work on the railroad and many other occupations, as common laborers. A calling which will be most affected by the ruling, IS cigar making. - over daily to work st that business. The heavy duty on cigars, amounting to nearly twice their value m Mexico, makes it very desirable that cigars be made on this side of the river.
